How do you Round to the Nearest Ten Thousand 1
We have already learnt rounding off the numbers to the nearest tens, hundreds, etc. Let us review them. Let us consider a number, say 12 on a number line. It lies between 10 and 20. We observe that the gap between 10 and 12 is less than the gap between 12 and 20, i.e., 12 is nearer to 10 than 20. So, we round off 12 to 10, that is, to the nearest ten.

How do you Round to the Nearest Ten Thousand 4Similarly,

  1. In 46, the digit in the ones place is 6. Hence, 46 rounded off to the nearest ten is 50.
  2. In 251, the digit in the ones place is 1. Hence, 251 rounded off to the nearest ten is 250.
  3. In 345, the digit in the tens place is 4. Hence, 345 rounded off to the nearest hundred is 300.
  4. In 9157, the digit in the tens place is 5. Hence, 9157 rounded off to the nearest hundred is 9200.
  5. In 5473, the digit at the hundreds place is 4. Hence, 5473 rounded off to the nearest thousand is 5000.
